You can control xterm fonts with either command line options or with
Xtoolkit resources. man xterm shows the option:
-fn font This option specifies the font to be used for displaying
normal text. The default is fixed.
and for a resource:
font (class Font) Specifies the name of the normal font. The
default is ``fixed.''
Reviewing the rest of the man file, there are many other options and
resources for controlling fonts. Far more than I remember from the
last time I looked at this particular man file. Looks like some
experimentation would be in order to determine what works best for
you.
The 'simplest' way to control xterm fonts is to edit your ~/.Xresources
file to specify the font, or font size, or font encoding, that you want
xterm (or terms based on xterm, like aterm or mrxvt) to use, although
gnome-terminal and konsole can edit such settings directly in the GUI.

[gentoo-user] xhkeys outliving its welcome

Too late, I found that the documentation doesn't tell how to cancel the effects of xhkeys. I assumed it was a daemon, but I guess it just loads something somewhere... I killed the xhkeys process.

[gentoo-user] Big emerge world killed networking
Hello, I've been gone for a couple months and now I'm back. I did a big emerge world to catch up and I noticed a lot of networking-related packages were updated like wpa_supplicant and baselayout. dhcpcd was updated, but I know that update worked fine because I did it separately a couple days before the world update. When I boot up now and the ath_pci module is autoloaded for my wireless card, there is a big dump of stuff on the screen and then a seg fault message. This is after the kernel stuff and during the runlevel stuff. When it tries to start net.ath0, it says: Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded A subsequent manual 'modprobe ath_pci' works just fine, but the dhcp error persists when trying to start the network interface. I also get the dhcp error when trying to use dhcp with the net.eth0 interface. Does anyone have any ideas? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] dual-linuxdistro-boot kernel question

Even if they share the same swap partition and /boot is inside the root of one of the distros (and not in a separate partition)... Cheers, Fernando No, they do not-- in fact, I personally think it's weird for them to use the same kernel (I never heard of doing this before recently). Just to authenticate myself, I currently run Gentoo and SuSE on the same PC, and previously ran Gentoo, RedHat9, Morphix, CollegeLinux, and Mandrake (with Win 98 and Win2K) on the same PC. Especially when one of the distros in question is a binary distro (Mandrake, SuSE, RedHat/Fedora, and to some extent, Debian-based distros, and Gentoo), you wouldn't want them to use the same kernel anyway, as binary distros are well-known to patch their kernels for the distribution (as does Gentoo, but the Gentoo patches are not as 'essential' to the kernel's proper running as, say, SuSE's are if you're running SuSE). Naturally, I wouldn't expect the binary distro's kernel patches to be compatible with Gentoo, or vice-versa. Now, of course, you could use a vanilla kernel under both (or all) relevant distros, but that would probably be a problem for the binary distro (after all, if the kernel patches weren't necessary, they wouldn't put all the work in to patch the kernel, would they?). What I do is *copy* the binary distro's kernel to the /boot partition (which is a separate mounted partition under Gentoo, but is a folder under / in SuSE), so that way, both distros can use the kernel they expect to see, and it all works fine. Why you'd really want to have two or more distros using the same kernel at all, I really can't get, but maybe I'm dim :-) . Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] dual-linuxdistro-boot kernel question
That was exactly what I was thinking...

Even that this guy/girl has /boot inside Ubuntu's partition, it still needs (in case he wants 2 different kernels) to place gentoo's kernel inside /boot so that he can start gentoo.

Re: [gentoo-user] dual-linuxdistro-boot kernel question
Couldn't you place both kernels in /boot with different names and leverage grub to load the approriate one?
Re: [gentoo-user] dual-linuxdistro-boot kernel question
Russell Slater schreef: Couldn't you place both kernels in /boot with different names and leverage grub to load the approriate one? Yes. Afaik, this is the 'traditional' method, both within a single distro with multiple kernel versions, and with multiple distros that each have a single kernel. If you originally set up both distros to point to the same external partition as /boot, then there is no problem, as the kernels will both be installed to the same /boot partition, and will most likely have different names by default. If, like me, you installed one distro with /boot as just a folder on the / partition, then installed the second using a separate partition as /boot, then you likely have to do what I did and copy one kernel (and associated files) to the /boot of the distro whose bootloader you're using, but of course, if you have to do that, you can easily rename the copied kernel to something unique, if for some reason it isn't already uniquely named.

Maybe under normal circumstances it is, but SUSE really doesn't seem to like booting from Gentoo's bootloader when the SUSE kernel is on the other partition (not in the /boot partition my Gentoo uses). Of course, the SUSE kernel doesn't like to boot from 'normal' entries, either-- I recall when I was still using LiLO, that I had to physically copy the SuSE entry from SuSE's lilo.conf to the lilo.conf I was actually using, because just adding a standard entry to point to the SuSE kernel/partition wouldn't boot SuSE.

If you find something similar try a command like this:

(find all directories owned by user 1000:100, the first user in gentoo)
!!! LOOK WELL AT THE OUTPUT !!!
if you think *all* that directoryes should be owned by root this make

Glibc _was_ built correctly, so is there anyway I can manually copy the rest of the files from the portage sandbox to the live filesystem without having to rebuild it again? The problem is that whatever files get copied before it craps out are in the live filesystem, while files after are not copied, so I have a mish-mash of old and new glibc files installed.

Allan Its [xlfd] name is Allan -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1 Allan Is there some way I can tell gnome-terminal to use Allan -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1 Yes, xft supports bitmap fonts and this one should be in the list. It can be a bit of work to get the right fontconfig name for a given xlfd name, so the best thing to do is to find the fonts.dir file that matches the xlfd to a filename, and find that same filename in the fonts.cache-1 file in that directory. The font you want is in /usr/share/fonts/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz and that matches this line in /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts-cache-1: , | 6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz 0 Fixed-12:style=SemiCondensed:slant=0: | weight=100:width=87:pixelsize=13:spacing=110:foundry=Misc: | antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:dpi=75: | charset= |^1!|^1!|^1!P0oWQ |^1!|^1!|^1!: | lang=aa|...long-list...|zu: | fontversion=0:fontformat=PCF ` I've manually broken that to fit in 80 cols, and elided the full list of the lang attribute. This means that the string from Fixed to PCF is the full fontconfig name. In practice you can leave out a lot of that. This should let you view the font: :; xfd -fa 'Fixed-12:style=semicondensed:pixelsize=13:foundry=misc' the equivalent invocation for that font as a server-side font is: :; xfd -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1 To get gnome-terminal to use that font you may need to manually edit the gconf file. I'd first make a named profile in gnome-terminal's edit current profile dialog (from the right-click menu), and then look for that profile's name in: ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/ The default profile is named Default, and its gconf file is: ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/%gconf.xml In that file, look for: entry name=font and put the fontconfig name in the stringvalue container w/in that entry. There is also an x_font entry that appears to take an xlfd, so I'd change that, too. Depending on your dpi setting, you might even get lucky by using g-t's dialog to choose Fixed, style=semicondensed and one of the offered point sizes. On my 133dpi screen -- with X actually using that dpi -- I was unable to get the dialog to match 6x13. As an alternative, you can try Vera Mono or DevaVu Mono; they have about the same aspect ratio as the bdf fixed fonts and look as good if you have freetype installed w/o bindist in USE. Ie, when using the bycode interpreter, the hinting leaves the stems sharp and adds just a hint of smoothing to the curves and diagonals.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't get ALSA OSS Emulation to work
Nick, Interesting. I have something like 8 Gentoo machines I run Alsa on. All of them use OSS emulation at least partially. I do not remember any messages or guidance to do what you're say, but indeed, it makes sense, sort of... Unfortunately, it seems that emerge didn't tell me to do this or, if it did, then the messages were lost in an endless stream of compile text while doing an emerge world. I suppose I really don't like this way of doing it since it now makes Alsa set up for Gentoo different from what is specified on the Alsa pages. It also seems that the /etc/conf.d/alsasound page may not give me as much control in my systems where I'm using multiple sound cards. I'll have to review that more carefully. Humm... Are there any new online instructions that specify all these changes? Thanks, Mark On 8/16/05, Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The setup on gentoo changed sometime around alsa-lib 1.09.

Re: [gentoo-user] Install hangs while Scanning for ata_piix
Installed another motherboard (Asus p4P800SE) and this works fine IF I set these options in the BIOS under IDE config: Onboard PCI IDE Operate Mode [Enhanced Mode] Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA] Configure S-ATA as RAID [No] Changing Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA] to Enhanced Mode Support On [P-ATA+S-ATA] would give the same errors as in my first post. Note that with the above BIOS settings, the BIOS does not recognize my P-ATA IDE drive (strangely enough it does recognise the CDROM drive), but the gentoo install does (so not a big deal really).

[gentoo-user] Sphere Game App
Hi there, I would like to try Sphere out, because Id love to make up a game without much coding, which Im not too good at. It says that it is able to run on Linux, but when I download the source for 1.0, I cant figure out how to compile it. There is no makefile or anything. Has anyone else used sphere? Its not in the portage tree. The URL is http://sphere.sf.net. Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't get ALSA OSS Emulation to work
I can only suggest you look carefully at /dev/dsp - it should i think be a link to /dev/sound/dsp. Then look at the permissions on /dev/sound/dsp - they should be: crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 3 Jan 1 1970 /dev/sound/dsp and the user trying to run the errant program should be in the audio group. (and re-logged in if you add them as a result of this message, ie adding a user to a group does not take effect until they log in again. Unfortunately this can mean logging oput of X and back in again) You can check if user is in the audio group with: id user On Tue, 16 Aug 2005 20:09:15 -0300 Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: Thanks for the attention.
